► Season Announcement

Hello!

The Challenge season is finally coming to an end, prepare for the new Chaos season, coming on Friday the 13th, January 2017!Full details on this new themed realm-patch are to be revealed shortly before the ladder reset. But that's not all:

PvPGN 1.99

Since it's inception, TSW has been running on PvPGN 1.85 - but we are looking to update our servers to a newer PvPGN version. Hopefully this will have better performance compared to it's predecessor, and less bugs. We will be deploying this version in the upcoming days.

Server Migration

Additionally, we are migrating our datacenter to a much better plan. This should definitely increase the overall performance of the servers, as well as GS1 which is hosted in the data center as well. However this migration will require users to update their realm gateways, as announced in the TSW channel topic. This is very simple, simply run this registry file and you should be good to go! Make sure to spread the word since the old IP will stop working after the migration is done.

TSW3 is live!

Finally, nomercy4you has decided to step out from the Median XL scene. For those who don't know him, TSW1 used to be a sub-server of a bulgarian network where we weren't really confortable, so back in the day nomercy pursued the idea of a community-sustained realm and he, with aahz, created what we all know today as TSW2. I can't stress enough how big the impact TSW2 had in the overall success of Median XL as a project, which eventually led to the implementation of TG which allowed us to afford this huge network of servers around the world as well as the development of the mod itself. So big thanks to him and good luck on your future projects.

I was never around back on TSW1, but I can imagine the impact and changes it brought to the game and community. Thanks to aahz and nomercy for the basis of TSW2 back in the day and as Marco said, good luck to future endeavors for nomercy.

Also.. Friday the 13th. How did I not see that coming for a ladder reset
